Farhan Qureshi: Today my respect for that idiot shot up. Most of us went to college just for a degree. No degree meant no plum job, no pretty wife, no credit card, no social status. But none of this mattered to him, he was in college for the joy of learning, he never cared if he was first or last.

Chatur Ramalingam aka 'Silencer': [In the auditorium, delivering a speech] Today, if ICE is touching sky-high limits, then the credit goes to only one man: Shri Viru Sahastrabudhhe! Give him a hand!
Librarian Dubey: [Leans towards Sahastrabudhhe] Sir, the voice is his, but the words are mine.
Chatur Ramalingam aka 'Silencer': He's a

great guy, really, you are. For the past 32 years in this college, he has continuously committed rapes upon rapes.
Rancho: [to Rastogi] He meant, "Miracles upon miracles."
Chatur Ramalingam aka 'Silencer': I hope he continues to do so. We often wondered how a person in his lifetime can do these many rapes. With this extreme self-discipline, he's made

himself this capable. Correct usage of time, complete utilization of the bell. Somebody learn from him. Learn from him. Learn from him!
Minister in Auditorium: [Holding back Sahastrabudhhe] Sit down, sit down!
Chatur Ramalingam aka 'Silencer': Today, we all students are here. Tomorrow, we'll spread across so many countries. I promise you all,

whichever country we are in, there we'll rape! We'll bring glory to the name of ICE! We'll show everyone the ability to rape that students over here have. No other student across the globe has it! No other student! No other student!
[after waiting for the chanting to die down]
Chatur Ramalingam aka 'Silencer': Respected minister, namaskar. You have given the thing

this institution needs the most:...
Rancho: Money! Money!
Chatur Ramalingam aka 'Silencer': Breasts!
Librarian Dubey: Not that! That word means this!
[Gestures breasts with his hands]
Minister in Auditorium: What kind of insulting things is this boy saying?
Chatur Ramalingam aka

'Silencer': Everyone has breasts.
[Shoves hand into pocket]
Chatur Ramalingam aka 'Silencer': Everyone keeps it hidden. Nobody ever gives it willingly!
Minister in Auditorium: This guy is too vulgar!
Chatur Ramalingam aka 'Silencer': You have given your breasts to the hands of this rapist. Now, let us see how

he makes use of it.
Minister in Auditorium: Sahstrabudhhe, don't you have any brains? Indecent guy.
[walks out of the auditorium]
Chatur Ramalingam aka 'Silencer': Let me recite a shlok for this golden occasion.
Rancho: Listen. Listen. He'll explain his farts in Sanskrit.
Chatur Ramalingam aka

'Silencer': The loudest fart sounds like a motor vehicle.
Millimeter - MM: Fart? Go, silencer!
Chatur Ramalingam aka 'Silencer': A weaker one sounds like a train. The weakest fart is a silent killer.

Pia V. Sahastrabudhhe: You Gujaratis are so cute. But why does your food sound so dangerous? Dhokla, fafda, handwa, thepla, khakhra, they sound like missiles. Today, Bush dropped two dhoklas on Iraq: 400 dead, 200 injured. I can deal with khakhra, fafda, but your name? Ranchhodddas Shamaldas Chanchad. Yuck! I won't change my last name after marriage

Chatur Ramalingam aka 'Silencer': Sir: Machines are any combination of bodies so connected that their relative motions are constrained, and by which means force and motion may be transmitted and modified, as a screw and its nut, or a lever arranged to turn about a fulcrum or a pulley about its pivot, et cetera; especially, a construction, more or less complex, consisting of a

combination of moving parts or simple mechanical elements, as wheels, levers, cams et cetera.

Farhan Qureshi: I've always been a law abiding citizen. But in the last 24 hours, I grounded an airplane, nearly flushed someone's remains down the toilet, and helped Pia escape her wedding. All for Rancho. He would've done the same for any of us, too, like stealing a copy of the final exam that was designed for Raju's failure.
